Here’s a dictionary I started to compile recently.

Famous Jewish sports legends?

Funny.

Well lets see. Max Baer. Not sure of spelling. Hank Greenberg. And the biggest is Sandy Koufax.

Ya want a shorter list? Indian sports legends. I can’t think of any in USA. Maybe cricket or soccer. But wow there are a great many Indians and i don’t think sports is there thing.

Age 8 i bet a quarter against Tommy Doucette’s soft dictionary in a best of ten from the foul line. Used the heck out of that dictionary. Started reading from letter A.

So now there are two words in last two days that are courtesy of AZ added to the list of word licker linguistics. Mondegreen and cromulent. To remember cromulent just think of…[Read more]

@ Enco  – If I were using a hard copy dictionary…..I did and my parents made me eat it!  We used to get a new or uncommon word to learn every few days. I am addicted to cryptic crosswords and have done at least one but usually 2 or 3 every week since I was 18. I average about 35 books a year. So I am very good at sophisticated blasphemy 🙂

Funny, before I looked it up, I thought jejune was when SeSummer began.

Enco, please take a seat at the front of the class 🙂

Reg, you’ve confused me with Enco…

Apologies to you both…..I was thinking that you Jake, would appreciate the word when you read it.  Not quite a mondegreen though. Mrs. Malaprop, you have a rival in Lisa Simpson, but don’t worry Lisa, iconoclasts are very welcome here 🙂

Ever see that movie “Airplane”?  A passenger asks the flight attendant if she has any light reading available. She brings back a pamphlet entitled “Famous Jewish Sports Legends”.

Oh but what about all of the Indonesian Muslims? Stay home please.

Jews love Chinese restaurants. A stereotype with some backbone. I will say this. There are a great many bad Chinese restaurants. There is one near me called Discount Chinese Food. The name does not mislead. When they are good though wowzers. Incredible cuisine. Japanese seldom have bad restaurants and when they are Nobu no fooling they’re…[Read more]

Growing up my family befriended a Norwegian family. The rats moved back to Norway. Anyways i remember the father who was an engineer telling us how Jews who numbered so few in Norway dominated the admissions in engineering school and yet no apparent discrimination or racism was apparent. I have a feeling that is no longer the case since Norway is…[Read more]

Robert, good and fair take.

However, based on the pervasiveness of the lefty religion of secular Jew hate and how thoroughly indoctrinated so many who are or will be so prominent in the US it is a real threat. Don’t say nutting halal. It is insanely frustrating to see how stupid people are. Oh shut up Bonhoeffer! You should have renounced your…[Read more]

Reg, you’ve confused me with Enco. He hit us with a cromulent left hook. Was happy to learn a new word. Jejune is a word that i have/had a mental block. Have come across it too many times to have an excuse to need a dictionary or now internet. Never ever hear anybody use word but it is in so many books.

Right now, christian nationalism is the #1 immediate threat to our nation and democracy on this planet. Not Islamists, not trans athletes, not antisemitic  Harvard, not China, not Ukranian Nazis, not even climate change. Anyone fighting this shit, I am gonna root for them. When the threat is over, then back to the regularly scheduled program.…[Read more]

Here is one of the reasons that Jews were discriminated against at Harvard and many elite American institutions in the early 20th century.

Jewish enrollment at elite colleges in the U.S. began to rise significantly due to merit-based admissions (which emphasized academic achievement). By the 1925, Jewish students made up more than 25% of the…[Read more]

Permit me Jake the indulgence of extending my most effulgent approbation for your recent prolix perambulations through the luxuriant lexicon of our beloved English tongue. Your sesquipedalian predilections, far from being an impediment to intelligibility, represent a salubrious balm upon the oft-diminished art of articulate articulation.

Indeed,…[Read more]

Enco, i am torn betwen a requirement for Muslims before becoming US citizens. Should they be required to spit, urinate or defecate on their Quran?

And to all of the White bread ivy league students majoring in middle eastern studies and crying dodger blue for the Palestinians. Mandatory visits into the bowels of death cult hell. Encourage them to…[Read more]

Big bang. 13 billion years hence. Cromulent. Big splash.
